Are you having a laparoscopy along with hysteroscopy? If it's just a hysteroscopy there's a shorter recovery time. I was up and about just a few days after without much discomfort. (For the laparoscopy it took a few days more).

The surgery itself isn't that bad. I've had both ways done five years apart. It is not uncommon to require a second surgery though but hopefully you won't.

I had a balloon and estrogen after my second surgery. Will you be having this as well? If you aren't, not to worry as there's no concrete evidence that it helps in healing anyways. In fact my septum only went down from 1.6cm to 1.4cm with a balloon. (My first surgery it went from >5 to 1.6cm without a balloon).

As for the dos and donts my surgeon told me not to take any vitamins prior to surgery day. As for the after, I'd say just try to rest up.

Wishing you a very speedy recovery! Please keep us updated.

Thanks so much!

RE (reproductive endocrinologist) said lap only if she sees the need once the surgery gets going. I have previous laps so know what to expect from that. RE (reproductive endocrinologist) uses balloon on a case by case basis so that one is up in the air. I will be taking estrogen.

I am worried about multiple surgeries due to the septum being so broad. I have not been given any measurements so not sure of the size.
